Wang Qiwan didn't expect Li Jingruo to be so ruthless.He had already heard about the rumors between Li Jingruo and Gao Zhanming before. He followed them these few days and saw that Li Jingruo was taking care of Gao Zhanming everywhere. It can be seen that Gao Zhanming's position in his heart is extremely special.But now that his knife was on Gao Zhanming's neck, Li Jingruo turned a blind eye and continued to demand execution. Did he disregard Gao Zhanming's life? !

Wang Qi screamed tremblingly: "Didn't you hear me when I told you to release him! Otherwise I will kill him! I will really kill him!" The knife in his hand was getting tighter and tighter, Gao Zhanming felt There was a stabbing pain in the neck, and blood was already dripping down the blade.

Li Jingruo's eyes were deep, and he said coldly: "If something happens to Gao Zhanming, all the officers and soldiers in Jiazhou Prefecture, and even the people in Jiazhou Prefecture will not have a good life! You can try!"

Wang Qi's eyes widened in disbelief.Li Jingruo is counter-threatening him? !

The soldiers hesitated a little, but the supreme officer had issued the order again and again, and Song Nuo didn't dare to stop him. Finally, someone stabbed the captured rebel in the chest, and the rebel screamed and fell to the ground convulsively.When the rest of the officers and soldiers saw that someone was carrying out the execution, they did not delay any longer, and cut down with one knife, and all the rebels were beheaded!The blood flowed into the river along the cracks in the rocks, and the river water along the banks was dyed a light red.

Every time a rebel was killed, the knife in Wang Qi's hand trembled a little bit more. Seeing all the rebels being executed, Wang Qi's face was bleak and his whole body trembled like chaff, but he still didn't really cut Gao Zhanming's neck.

Gao Zhanming's neck hurt more and more, he could only hold his breath and try to push his body back, lest Wang Qi accidentally cut his throat.

The last one to be executed was Zhang Liu. His head was put down by the officers and soldiers and rolled aside, his eyes were still wide open. Before he died, he still couldn't believe that Li Jingruo was so cruel.

When all the rebels were dead, Li Jingruo let out a long breath and said in a cold voice, "Everyone retreat! Retreat a hundred meters!"

Although everyone was puzzled, they could only obey the order. The army gradually retreated, forming a [-]-meter encirclement circle, enclosing Li Jingruo and Gao Zhanming Wang Qi in the middle.

Li Jingruo spread his hands, approached Wang Qi slowly, and said softly, "Don't be nervous, I don't have any weapons on me, I can't hurt you."

Wang Qi was already trembling, his words were speechless, his eyes were shattered: "I told you to let me go... let me go..." He screamed, "Don't come close!"

Li Jingruo stopped in his tracks and said, "Okay, okay, relax. I just want to say a few words to you, and I don't want others to hear you. Look, I'm unarmed. I'm at a disadvantage when I approach you. You have a knife in your hand." , you can stab me to death at any time." He forced the corners of his mouth to tease, but the smile was very stiff, "I am the emperor's direct cousin, and I am worth more than Mr. Gao. If you lose me, you still make money."

Wang Qi was afraid of Li Jingruo, so he held Gao Zhanming and staggered back.

Li Jingruo said: "I know what you want, I did as you said, and killed all the rebels."

Wang Qi stared at Li Jingruo in disbelief: "I, I clearly, clearly want you to release me!"

Li Jingruo said: "I ordered the execution on the spot from the very beginning. You misunderstood me. I didn't hesitate. Do you know why I did this? I know what you are worried about. I am like you. It is enough for things to go this far." I don't want to implicate any more people."

Li Jingruo knew that Wang Qi didn't really want to kill Gao Zhanming.If he wants to kill, he has many opportunities these days, all of which are more suitable than now.

Wang Qi tremblingly said: "You...you..."

Li Jingruo said: "Listen to me first. I know you are a person of great affection, otherwise you would not speak up for Zhang Liu and sue Captain Song. You are worried that I will arrest the rebels and torture you. Forced to find out more people related to this matter. I don't like killing people, even Zhang Liu and the others, I don't want to kill them, but they made the worst move. They rebelled and burned the government. Panic, the world is in chaos. I know you don't want to do this, so you didn't follow the team of the rebels that day. You are a person who understands righteousness. You would rather sacrifice yourself and let me let the rebels go to protect your still Colleagues in the military, you are worried that they will be implicated, aren't you?"

Wang Qi was still trembling, but remained silent.

Li Jingruo said: "No officer wants to lose more subordinates. Those soldiers also have family members. One more defector will implicate another family. I will not do this. Without soldiers and horses, we will lose the people. What's the point of this bare-bones governor doing it? From before to now, I have never thought of implicating more people. When you burned the smoke to reveal our whereabouts to the rebels, I didn't send anyone to see who was ventilating Report the letter. If you hadn't held Mr. Gao hostage, I wouldn't have even planned to pursue you."

Wang Qi and his wife burst into tears, bit their lips and remained silent.

Li Jingruo said: "You know Mr. Gao's life experience. If there is something wrong with him, I don't want to pursue it. The queen mother and the emperor will let it go so easily? How many people in Jiazhou will be implicated? Your friends, the whole The defenders of Jiazhou Mansion, I am afraid that no one will be spared. He is the nephew favored by the Queen Mother, and the Gao family's behavior, it would not be a pity to bury him with 1 people. Let him go."

Wang Qi pursed his lips, and the two of them stalemate for a long time, finally Wang Qi said with trembling teeth: "What you said is the truth? Are you serious, don't pursue it anymore?"

Li Jingruo pointed to Zhang Liu's head beside him: "If I tell a lie, all the souls of these hundreds of rebels will turn into ghosts, haunting my bed all day long, and I will never be able to sleep peacefully in this life!"

Wang Qi burst into tears, raised his head to the sky and screamed, let go of his strength, and moved the knife away from Gao Zhanming's neck.Li Jingruo strode forward, quickly hugged Gao Zhanming into his arms, and covered the wound on his neck with his hands.

Seeing that Gao Zhanming was out of danger, the officers and soldiers a hundred meters away were about to step forward to arrest him, but Li Jingruo raised his hand to stop him.

He looked at Wang Qi with pity, and said: "I understand your friendship, you can do it yourself."

Wang Qi nodded sadly: "I know, thank you, Lord Governor, you are a good official." He looked at the long knife stained with blood in his hand, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and cut his own neck with the knife!

The last rebel wiped his neck himself, and all the officers and soldiers rushed forward. Li Jingruo pressed Gao Zhanming's wound, and said sharply, "Where's the medical officer?! Come here, the medical officer!"

The shouted medical officer hurriedly squeezed out from the crowd, and ran forward to see Gao Zhanming's injury.

Gao Zhanming pushed Li Jingruo's hand away with a calm expression, and said, "I'm fine, my flesh is hurt."

Li Jingruo opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Gao Zhanming interrupted: "The rebel army has been completely wiped out, Governor Li, let's go back."

The few remaining dozens of rebels had been hiding in the deep mountains. Li Jingruo sent people to search everywhere, but the mountains in Shu were peculiar, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it took several months to catch the rebels. come out.However, after several crusades by the rebel army, the supplies have almost been exhausted. They are wanted criminals, unable to move an inch, and have reached the point of exhaustion.Li Jingruo's trip this time was to give himself and Gao Zhanming a vacation to play in the mountains and rivers to enhance their relationship, and secondly to take advantage of the situation to lure snakes out of their holes.Among the defenders are the rebels, and the nearby prefectures are all under the jurisdiction of Li Jingruo, and they are all wanted for their whereabouts. It is difficult for them to escape from Shu.Taking advantage of this opportunity, if Li Jingruo and Gao Zhanming can be captured alive, and these two people are used as hostages in exchange for money and escape from Shu, there may be a chance to start a new life.

Li Jingruo ostensibly brought dozens of guards, but in fact he secretly arranged hundreds of troops, disguised as civilian merchants, some in the rear and some in the front, secretly investigating the whereabouts of the rebels.In the end, they discovered that the rebels had set up an ambush in Wuxia, and wanted to take advantage of the situation to ambush Li Jingruo and Gao Zhanming.They could have captured the ambushing rebels first, but they didn't expect the rebels to divide into two groups, some of them laid bows and arrows to ambush, and some of them hid in the deep mountains.In order to draw out all the rebels, they had no choice but to stand still and set up an ambush here, and finally succeeded in destroying all the rebels.

Everyone admired Li Jingruo's move to lure the snake out of the hole, but just before the battle, there was a commotion, and everyone's hearts were hanging in their throats. They thought that the rebels who were finally caught would go back to the mountain. Regardless of the safety of the hostages, they were still executed.Just now Li Jingruo told everyone to back off, no one heard what Li Jingruo said, the traitor who held Gao Zhanming gave up the hostage and wiped his neck and killed himself, the last messy seedling was easily pulled out, they couldn't help but admire Li Jingruo's five bodies !

However, what appears to be calm on the surface may not necessarily be the case.

Li Jingruo stretched out his hand to pull Zhanming's arm: "Jun Liang..."

Gao Zhanming avoided it coldly: "Lord Governor, is there a carriage? I'm tired and don't want to go."

Li Jingruo frowned slightly: "No."

Gao Zhanming turned around and said to the medical officer: "Get on the boat and bandage me." After speaking, he walked to the boat and passed Li Jingruo without looking at him.

Li Jingruo stood where he was, smiled wryly, shook his head, and ordered: "Retreat, return."
